Re: help. my 86 spree motor starts and runs backwards.
If you are 100% sure it is running backwards (fan spinning wrong way, rear wheel is spinning backwards) then I would think the timing is off. I would pull the flywheel and check to see if the woodruff key is there. More that likely you will need a flywheel puller to remove it. Sometimes they can be a b**** to get them to break free from the crank. Don't hit it with anything or pry on it in an attempt to knock it loose as you can damage the crank or break the case.

Re: help. my 86 spree motor starts and runs backwards.
the spree motor runs the opposite way to the variated AF05E ,AF16 motors due to there only beinrg two gears in the rear trans .And notice the kick start goes the opposite way to the others.

Re: help. my 86 spree motor starts and runs backwards.
If it is running the wrong way, you are either starting it in the wrong direction via the drill or it backfires to the wrong direction. A fun random experience when you jump on and hit the gas.

Re: help. my 86 spree motor starts and runs backwards.
Greetings:
Starting with a drill, it must spin clockwise when viewed from the belt pulley. The transmission turns that rotation correctly at the rear wheel.

Re: help. my 86 spree motor starts and runs backwards.
Spree (and most 2 stroke bikes) can be made to run "backwards."
Since you're using a drill, expect the problem is that you need to reverse your drill direction.

Re: help. my 86 spree motor starts and runs backwards.
starting with the drill at the pully I turn clockwise it back fires, no start. at the pully turning it counterclockwise, the spree starts and runs fine. but the wheel spins in revers.Wheelman-111 wrote:Greetings:

Re: help. my 86 spree motor starts and runs backwards.
the magnets in the flywheel polarity may have gotten reversed. My father in law had to weld a part of a flywheel on a arctic cat sled and it went in reverse when he got it back together. it even started with the pull start and sounded completely normal
try a different flywheel
